cannes 2008

a friend just left for Cannes. I understand how difficult it is for actors and producers. He told a joke: whats the difference between a coconut and a producer? Well, you can get a drink out of a coconut. :)

I visited a friends apt, she asked me if i would like to help her rent it to some people. Its big, everything is dark (it was at night.) and large dirty hallway carpets, its looks gloomy. I didnt say that to her. But, it needs an entire renovation! She seem to not see this aspect. Her last name is that of an aristocrate.Feel sad looking at this apt, such a big apt, and so run down. I wouldnt want to live in such a place. The ambiance is that of going down hill.

Cannes also, I have no feeling for it this year. :) I also read that there is no Chinese film in competition this year. Wonder why.

The Kite Runner 2*I liked the scenery, the content, and the balanced way of telling the story, the film crew was a large Chinese group... the sentiments shown is very Asian. An Asian film in essence.Max (an animation film with resine figurines, Swiss) 1*Fell asleep, graphics totally unattractive, story very old value, the sex roles of the characters are sooooooo ooooold and stale, I simply fell asleep.Peur(s) du noir (animation film) 3*Strong showLa Jeune Fille et les loups 2.5*good story well toldPromets moi 2.5*noisy music, in keeping w the directors usual style.Cortex 2*reminds me, how does it feel like to be in an old folks home? and be treated like a dependant? a fine film showing humiliation and helplessness of the aged... We must take care of our parents when they get old... you wouldnt want to be put into an old folks home.Enfin Veuve 1*empty silliness. bourgeoise distraction.La Fanfare 2.5*Asian Oriental feel, the star is snappy, sassy, very interesting.Lust Caution 3*hmmm. the script has some problems...La Graine et le mulet 4*charming, brave, authentic, kind, i feel closer to the North Afracan immigrants after seeing this movie. Human, warmth, and what belly dancing could means.

Inventions needed :

A computer display which has the capacity of the sun :sl is an extension of rl for me, growing longer fingers, and coming back, the air is sweeter. Only thing I dont like is having to look at a lcd screen - I know how people get such pale faces and panda eyes now... maybe we should invent a computer that is like the sun, gives us warmth and a golden glow?
